Towards the Design of a Heterogeneous Hierarchical Machine: A Simulation Approach

HPAM Sim is an execution-driven simulator of heterogeneous machines. HPAM Sim allows the simulation of target machines consisting of different processors and interconnection networks. HPAM Sim attemptsto reduce simulation time by using lightweight threads and static augmentation. Additionally, simulation can be performed either in contention or non contention mode. The results of HPAM Sim simulations were validated using two complementary approaches. As illustrated by an example, HPAM Sim is very flexible and allows the simulation of various heterogeneous machines with non-traditional organizations.
